Shoppers Provide Hope to Women In Need at the Elaine Turner Holiday Event

The weather outside may be frightful, but giving back is so delightful! That's exactly what the ladies that joined Elaine Turner in celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas did last night at the Elaine Turner Holiday event benefitting The Women's Home.

Guests were suggested to bring gently used handbags and shoes to give hope to the women at The Women's Home, a houston based charity. Shoppers were rewarded for their giving spirit with coupons and discounts from Elaine Turner to be used on festive accessories from the designer.

Elaine Turner's Holiday event also featured native Texan jewelry designer, Hazel Smyth who enticed shoppers with glam baubles just in time for the holidays. A couple of lucky ladies that entered the $5 raffle went home with accessories ranging from a pair of Boo flats in Pailet to a red Bella clutch bag. Fifteen percent of proceeds went to benefit The Women's Home.

The 12 Days of Christmas are not over yet! Elaine Turner continues to accept donations of gently used handbags and shoes thru December 16th. So dust off that "IT" bag from a couple of seasons ago, donate it to Elaine Turner for The Women's Home and come home with your new favorite.
